Something is missing from the above picture....any guesses? It's his feeding tube! Dr. May came by today and was so pleased with Brayden's progress that she cancelled his GI test, told us that the tube could come out and if he continues to eat this well then we will go home on MONDAY!
Here's a funny...when Brayden heard that his tube could come out he ripped it out himself - tube, tape and sticker (it held the tube to his cheek)! My mom calls him a little stinker and I think she's right!

(Above) Brayden loves his swing - I hope that he likes the one we have at home as much as he likes this one!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Brayden! he did so well today with his feeds. We are just praying that he keeps it up and we will be headed home soon!

Jenna,
I've been following your blog since Brayden was born - but I don't think I've left a comment yet.
What exciting news! It will be so wonderful for you to get your new baby home! That's where you are all meant to be. :)
Having lost 3 children (2 infant sons and a 6 year old daughter), my heart is always very tender in situations like yours. I'm just so glad that you get to take little Brayden home and I rejoice with you.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Yay for Brayden!

I just found your blog today. Congrats on the fabulous news. I will keep Brayden in my prayers. I hope you get to bring him home tomorrow!
Thats awsome news been preying for yall
Hi Jenna. My name is Kerri. I have been reading your entire blog all night as i sit in the room with my daughter here at ACH. We are in ITU right down the hall from you. I don't know if you are still here but I just wanted you to know that i am praying for you, Chris, and Brayden. He is absolutely beautiful and what a strong little boy!! I hope God continues to bless your family!!
congratulations! That's such wonderful news!
Hey guys! I am so excited for you and Brayden. I hope everything is still going well. On the other hand I am a little sad because I may not get to see you before you leave. If I don't just know you guys are awesome. Brayden could not be more lucky! Please stay in touch I want updates on my little guy!
Checked in for the first time since I came to Wisconsin a few days ago for a brief visit with family, and was OVERJOYED that the prayers have been working and precious Brayden has decided he wants to take the bottles now and has gotten rid of the feeding tube--and by his own hand, no less! So many of us were trusting that it would happen just like that for you. There's a Cyber-party going on to celebrate!! Will keep you in prayers that as I travel back to Missouri tomorrow, you will also be traveling: HOME!! Good for Brayden!! Good for you! You've been champs throughout the whole ordeal! God Bless! Susan
Jenna, this is the first time I visit your blog. I got to it through a friend's blog. I couldn't just read your recent posts, so I went all the way back to a few days before your induction. I just wanted to say that I truly admire your strength through all that you have been through with Brayden. You are an incredible mother. Your faith in God through your journey is so inspiring. I will add your family to my prayers and continue to read your blog for reports and inspiration.
Oh, and your son is such a handsome little boy, good job mama :)
